So many people come up to me and always tell me what they want to be. I want to be financially free. I want to be a property investor. I want to be a business owner. However how they act and what they want are not aligned. Wanting to be something is not good enough. You’ve got to have…

I just got back from an extended trip in Europe and what’s so nice about being in another culture is seeing their different fundamental ways of doing things.

Today I wanted to check in with you to make sure you’re living life as it should be – as a journey not as some sort of a pilgrimage that has an end. I think where a lot of people get stuck is thinking you need to reach some point and only then you’ll be happy. We start to…

If there’s one thing that can help us overcome and achieve what we thought was impossible, it’s drive. When you have the drive and motivation to do something, very few people can stop you.

If you can’t see your greatness, GET a better mirror, look a little closer, stare a little longer, because there is something inside of you that made you keep going despite all the people that told you to QUIT.
